I believe you may be the first person to ever request such a thing.
It is worth noting Start10 allows you to use Cortana search with the menu which would appear to achieve both aims for you.
It still does that. If I hit the Win key and type "Remote" I get a separate Settings category in the search results with (for example):
....
* Select users who can use remote desktop
* Allow remote access to your computer
...
I'd post a screen-shot but this forum only accepts image url's and I can't be bothered uploading it.
Neil: I think the reason no-one has requested it has been a part of the standard Start menu since at least Win7 and also has always just worked in Start8 and Start10 (for me at least), ![]()
I'm running Start10 in both Win10 x64 Enterprise and Professional and this works, otherwise I'd been complaining too!
*searches through the whole configuration section*
Oh, you're right! I'll have to use that meanwhile.
Eh! Am I experiencing a bug of some sort then?
This is the result of searching for "remote":

Start10 doesn't seem to include any applets from Control Panel or Settings, the only results I get are those in the start menu folders (I have even enabled "include files outside the standard libraries").
+1 from me, I much prefer Microsoft's search and won't be using Start10 for this reason.
Win10 Pro by the way.
Part of the problem is that I seem to be experiencing an extremely slow search for some reason. I experienced a similar issue the few minutes I tried one of your competitor's application, StartIsBack I believe. Disabling "include files outside the standard libraries" did no difference.
The selected results in the screenshot below only showed up about 5-10 seconds after I had finished typing (hence part of the confusion since search should be instant):

I'm really confused as why this is the case... The OS and everything is running of an Intel 730 240 GB SSD, so I really shouldn't have these problems. Enabling "include files outside the standard libraries" makes those results show up directly after the Documents section has appeared. So the only slowdown seems to be with the "Control Panel" section.
I even tried with removing drive letters to all of my secondary HDDs (1x SSD, 2x SSHD in RAID0, 1x HDD) with no success, so I'm not really sure where the slowdown resides as my primary SSD has about 500 MBps in Read/Write speeds.
EDIT: I just tried creating a new local account with the same slowdown in search, so it doesn't seem bound to my user account.
EDIT 2: Even tried disconnecting the SATA cables to all mechanical secondary drives, same problem.
Hi Aemony,
I use Start8 1.01 and whitin a second I have a result on the text 'remote'. Sorry no image, but I got items from Programs, Configuration settings, Documents and my music folder.
Did you stop Windows searchindexer.exe? That could cause your problem.
Grtz,
Jaap
